Hey Meat, are You still working on the plane?

[Wiki 1558]

hi meatball.

a few things I want to report:

-issue with the afterburner: when i engage it and then disengage it, i still have both action in my menu. and the more I use it, the merrier these actions appears. I just found myself with 4 "engage afterburner" actions and the same number of "disengage afterburner"

-the RWR does not work: I get shot by missiles, but I dont know when I'm being locked nor shot at. the radar does not warn me, and missiles dont appear on the radar.

please, can you fix these problems for the next release?

thanks

Place this in the init of your unit you want to move into the cockpit gunner pos.

this MoveInTurret [planename,[0]];

Where: planename = the name of your plane in the editor.

Thanks

Hey is anybody else having the issue with there being absolutely NO canopy on any of the F/A-18's? I don't think it is a LOD issue because there isn't even an option to open/ close the lid. I'll try redownloading and get back.

Just saw Chris's comment, yeah Chris I have the exact same problem.

[Braker355 10]

Hello Meat, I find a bugs with the ejection system:

1/ We can eject other players in the plane by exterior with the interraction menu.

2/ If we eject on ground, the rescue boat explode and kill the pilot.

3/We can't control an AI for embark on Pilot seat if we are in WSO seat

See below:

Did You plan a version working with the basic ACE Ejection system?

Kind regards

PS: Sorry for my English.

Sorry for the inconveniance but i have others questions about payloads:

I tryed to use Addweapon, removeMagazine... commands in the editor; Succes for remove weapon by weapon, But to add an others weapons, they take place no matter how on pylons. (I seen fuel tanks has the place of AIM-9 OMG!)

Thanks again

you need to remember to add the magazines in order of the proxies. Then they will show on the propper station

[Braker355 10]

Thanks, but you have an exemple of code for me?

[wld427 1705]

you will need to open the config.cpp to see what order they are loaded, then you will be required to add them one at a time in a trial and error method.

No need to. Go into the editor, place a F/A-18 and put this code in it's initline:

myMagazines = getArray (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> (typeof this) >> "magazines");
{
diag_log format ["Magazine %1: %2", _forEachIndex, _x];
} foreach myMagazines;

This will write the magazines in the proper order into the rpt file.

[Braker355 10]

Thanks, i go to test that

Happy new year!

C:\Users\YOUR_WIN_ACCOUNT_NAME\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA

The folder might be hidden as system folder, unhide it.

And since you probably never deleted the .rpt file (which can be done safely as A2 automatically creates a new one) i recommend to do so as i guess it might be fairly big now.

[Braker355 10]

Ok thanks and sorry for the desagrement... and my bad english.

I will test that again.

I would like to replace the original 4 Mk84 and 4 Mavericks by 4 AGM 154...

Help please, Kind regards

[[frl]myke 14]

Hmmm....how long did you tried? It might be that it takes up to 30 seconds before a newly added magazine is available (magazineReloadTime).

[Braker355 10]

Reload time! I thought that it was a bug... Now it's work fine.

Thanks wld427

Thanks Mr GLT/FLR

And again, Happy New Year

[[frl]myke 14]

Reload time! I thought that it was a bug... Now it's work fine.

Thanks wld427

Thanks Mr GLT/FLR

And again, Happy New Year

Glad you got it sorted. In the next update i'll probably lower the reloadTimes a bit, i have to admit that i didn't spend much thoughts about this aspect until now.

[Braker355 10]

...FRL sorry...

Exelent idea, the reload time is too long but passable...

So good luck

*****REMOVE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF mar_f18.pbo/fz_f18.pbo/mar_pilot.pbo*****

Hello!

It has been a long time since I done anything with the F/A-18 and I would like to say thanks to all of you who have taken interest in this project. This version has been sitting on my shelf for too long and I thought I would release it. It is not 100% complete, but many of the previous issues have been fixed (at least I hope they are). I know some of you will find issues and make them known. I will try to iron them out as they come, but I cannot guarantee fixing them in a timely manner.

All of the textures have been redone by my homeboy Pharohx.. he did an awesome job!

To avoid problems.... PLEASE delete any older versions of mar_f18.pbo/fz_f18.pbo/mar_pilot.pbo
